This is exactly the oppose of my reaction to mounting.  I used to hand
mount 35mm (mono) astrophotos.  I can't stand handling 35mm (full
frame) film chips.  5p chips would be even worse.

The 6x6 frames are big enough that I don't have to use magnification
while mounting.  I tape an alignment guide to my light table and mount
on top of that.
